Fence clamp

Has anyone tried one of these?

Pretty simple design and it would be nice to have the clamps out of
the way. It might be easy enough to make something similar especially
if it's only needed for the width of one brand of fence.

I've used a pair of similar clamps, I made from a uiseless craftsman
universal jig.
They work great. I use them on my Bies. fence, when I'm usiong the
router, in the ext. table. I have 3 different sized cutouts for
different router bits, and just slide the fence, until it lines up and
tighten the clamps.

A couple of 1/4-20 flat head bolts got the job done for me.

Even using S/S, was less than $1, including fender washers.

And that's what I did. My rendition of these clamps using regular clamps has
been posted to ABPW.

They look OK, but the fence on my saw has some holes drilled all the way
through. I use them to attach various jigs and accessories, some
with wing nuts & through bolts, some with just a simple wood screw
through the fence hole and into the jig. The latter works great for
one-time jigs and the bolt or screw through the fence is even much
less obtrusive the the clamp in the Rockler link.

I bought a pair but have not used them yet. I got a 20% discount so mine
were only $11.19. Certainly worth the cost over my time.

Thanks for the drawing. Should work great.
